The sun was high, and Eva Green opened her eyes faintly.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, the French actress who had just turned 23 was stunned for a few seconds before remembering where she was.
She remembered that she was now in a mansion in Beverly Hills, a top-notch Beverly Hills mansion that she didn't know if she could live in it with her own ability in this life.
To her, this house is as big as a manor, a dream house like a dream.
For a long time, Eva Green has had the dream of becoming an actor and a big star.
She studied acting at the Saint-Paul School of Drama in Paris for three years, and then took a 10-week refresher course at the Weber Academy of Dramatic Art in London. For this reason, her English is also better than many people.
It was not until last year that she had the opportunity to formally contact the show business circle, and filmed a love ethics film called "Dream of Paris" in Paris.
That movie is the work of Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci and produced by Vivendi, so it is part of the "Eurostar" project of Vivendi and Smith Media.
As a result, as a European actress, she gained the opportunity to enter Hollywood in the United States.
She came to Hollywood to develop a few years earlier than in the parallel time and space.
But it didn't go smoothly because of this, on the contrary, it was exposed to the cruelty of Hollywood earlier.
Compared to the self-entertainment in Europe, the industrialized showbiz in Hollywood is more ruthless and more attractive to an actress like her who has dreamed of becoming famous since she was a child.
She wants to stay more and more, wants to stay on the biggest stage in the world, where she can shine and become a world-class star.
So she seized the opportunity and agreed to Anne Hathaway's invitation without any hesitation.
Before this, the two actually only met a few times in a certain library in Los Angeles.
This is also because Anne is one of the few women among Abel's women who likes to read.
And in fact, the so-called chance encounter was that after Eva Green learned about Anne Hathaway's hobbies with the help of her agent, she spent several months in that small library. Many encounters.
So in this world, especially in the super Vanity Fair like the entertainment industry, all chance encounters may not be real chance encounters. In many cases, these chance encounters are the chances created by the subordinates who racked their brains, so that they can have some very coincidental encounters with the superiors.
Of course, I was able to chat with Anne very well in the library, and Eva Green herself really likes to read books. At least she is very interested in literary and artistic books. This seems to be a common problem of most French female actors, and Sophie Marceau also has similar hobbies.
Eva Green, who chatted with Annie, became one of her friends.
Because of this reason, this young French actress did get two good opportunities.
Eva cherishes this very much, and at the same time understands more clearly that in Hollywood, connections and resources are everything.
What acting skills and looks are only secondary, especially the latter—there are too many beautiful people in this circle.
So when she received Annie's invitation this time, even if Annie hinted in this regard, she was required to undergo certain aspects of physical safety checks.
Eva Green accepted it willingly, and excitedly came to No. 9555 Heather Road, Beverly Hills, and spent a night that was dreamy, ridiculous and hard for her, but actually very happy.
Thinking of last night, even as an actress, she had already realized it, and Eva Green's face was also hot at this time.
She thought...that was really ridiculous!
The scene last night, who loves to read books and is more literary, felt that it was just like a lion pride on the African savannah!
The only male lion, strong and invincible, enjoys sowing wantonly in the new lioness group that his old lioness has bought for him.
The newly arrived group of females are all under the output of the male lion. They make that kind of sound one by one, and the scene of splashing in the swimming pool...
The situation is exaggerated, and even the plots in the San Fernando Valley movies are not so outrageous in many cases.
It's really outrageous. How can there be such a strong and exaggerated man in the world?
Feeling pain in some parts of her body, Eva Green felt that she might feel a little strange walking all day today.
Just when she felt a little hot because of the outrageous situation last night and lamented someone's incredible strong body.
A voice from a woman she was a little strange to, who she just met last night, sounded.
"Are you up? Wash up, they told us to go down."
Eva Green turned her head quickly and saw the direction of the bathroom in the room. There was a woman with wet hair and a bathrobe standing at the door of the bathroom. It was obvious that she had just bathed there.
Looking at this young and youthful girl after bathing, Eva Green stared in a daze for a while.
Even though Eva herself is a great beauty, she still thinks that she is extremely beautiful when she looks at this girl who is obviously a few years younger than herself.
Especially the figure, even better than her age, the skin is even whiter as if it will glow, and the face without makeup after washing is as beautiful as a doll, which makes Eva Green envious.
"Okay, my name is Eva Green." Eva Green struggled to get up, feeling the soreness all over her body. Only then did she realize that some places on her body were a little bruised, as if someone had scratched her hard under the traces.
Dazed for a moment, Eva remembered that this was something left by someone when she couldn't help it last night.
At that time, because she was in the cloud state, she didn't feel any pain at all, but hoped that he would use more force.
Now that she fell from the clouds to the world, she began to feel a little pain in these bruised places.
But she was already mentally prepared for this, so she didn't really care. While getting up and staggering towards the bathroom, she greeted the girl, "Hi, I'm from France, nice to meet you."
The reason why Eva took the initiative was because after she gradually woke up, she remembered that last night, the male lion confronted so many "female lions" in front of her.
The young, beautiful, sweet and bearish "lioness" in front of me seems to be the most beloved one.
Maybe this chick has hope to stay and become the "Smith Girl" that everyone in Hollywood envies. For this reason, Eva Green was especially happy to deal with her.
In case the other party really becomes the new Anne, or Jessica, or Scarlett Johansson, she will not suffer.
The other party seems to be relatively young, or maybe it is because of his nature, and he greeted with a very cheerful and outgoing smile:
"Hello, hello. Nice to meet you, Eva. My name is Amanda Seyfried, an American from Pennsylvania."
"Amanda, you are so beautiful!" Eva passed by Amanda Seyfried who stepped aside, walked into the bathroom to wash, and continued to chat with her while smiling.
In the bathroom, on the edge of the huge bathtub with flushing function, a complete set of Hermès bathrobes and toiletry sets have long been placed.
Eva noticed that Amanda was wearing this Hermes bathrobe.
This kind of discovery makes her a little bit speechless, because Eva knows that they will definitely not be cheap. The value of such a set is probably worth the rent of the apartment she rented in South Hollywood, at least two or three months!
While chatting and washing, Amanda Seyfried seemed to be waiting for her deliberately. After Eva Green finished washing in a hurry, she changed into the Hermès bathrobe that she was absolutely reluctant to buy, and took care of herself a little.
The two went out. In the large and beautiful corridor, Amanda Seyfried revealed to Eva the reason why she waited for Eva to wash.
"I'm very nervous! I haven't been so nervous before waiting for the acceptance letter from Fordham University. I dare not come out alone, so Eva, will you stay with me?"
Eva now knows that she has just turned 18 years old. Although she debuted earlier, she was well protected by her family before.
This is the first time she has experienced such a thing. It is only experienced after the age of 18, and it is normal to be nervous.
"Okay, don't forget last night. I was pressed under you for a while, of course I will accompany you." The older Eva smiled and explained her.
The two talked softly, and walked out of the corridor to a corner. Outside was the swimming pool that they had endured all night yesterday, and the courtyard garden that looked more beautiful in the daytime.
Looking at the sunshine in the courtyard garden, it was already past noon.
There was a maid at the corner who seemed to be waiting for them. When she saw the two of them coming out, she greeted them with a smile, and then brought them to the huge living room in the villa.
In the living room, many people were already there.
Eva looked around with her beautiful eyes nervously and hopefully, but she didn't find the "lion" from last night. This result disappointed the beautiful French actress.
However, the two "Smith girls" who are about to give birth with a big belly, the two women have already sat on two large American-style sofa chairs, looking at the new arrivals with smiles on their faces.
Eva and Amanda Seyfried hurried forward to say hello and exchanged a few pleasantries.
After the pleasantries, Eva and Amanda Seyfried were seated.
She secretly discovered that there were significantly fewer women sitting in the living room than last night.
Last night, there were almost 20 people in total, but now there are only five people here, even if you add Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba, there are only seven people.
Oh, no, it should be 8.
There was another maid who was still wearing a maid costume, but Eva recognized it as the beautiful young maid who was the first to be thrown down last night, and the blood flowed a lot from behind, staining the edge of the swimming pool red.
Aside from Amanda Seyfried, of the other three women, Eva only recognized one actress named Evangeline Lilly.
This actress, like Eva herself, is not very famous. The reason why Eva knew her was because the two of them worked together as a supporting actress in a Hollywood movie earlier this year, so they met.
As for the other two women, Eva did not know each other.
She guessed that they were all young Hollywood fourth- and fifth-tier actresses who were as unknown as herself.
There are too many actors like this in Hollywood. Not ten thousand, probably several thousand.
But there are only a few hundred people who can really make people remember their names.
There are at most a hundred people who can make people think of their names immediately.
Hollywood looks big, but it's actually small.
And here, the only thing they all have in common is that they all look very beautiful, have a very good figure, and have their own characteristics in temperament. In short, they are full of attractiveness to men.
"Okay, everyone is here. Those who can stay are here."
Suddenly hearing Anne Hathaway speak like this, Eva, who was still secretly observing other people, quickly calmed down and listened carefully to Anne's words.
"Well, yes. The others are gone, and they got what they deserved. Too bad they weren't attractive enough, or we didn't think they passed."
Annie spoke with a smile, and said something that made the five girls and girls who stayed on the scene a little nervous, but at the same time they were very excited.
"Eva Green, Evangeline Lilly, Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan and Kat Dennings. Welcome to the Anne & Jessica club, now you are all your own ."
Hearing Annie's words, all 5 people whose names were named showed happy smiles.
As we all know, Hollywood, or the entertainment industry in any country in the world, especially likes to gather together.
Hollywood is especially exaggerated, there are really all kinds of "gangs".
These gangs exist based on geography, or origin, or even some other insignificant factor.
In these circles, members can help each other to a certain extent, communicate with each other in terms of resources, and support each other in terms of contacts.
For example, the famous Oilers Gang, they are the most famous and influential circle in Hollywood, with the Oilers media boss behind them, and a super director like Spielberg at the front.
In addition to this, there are other Australian gangs, London gangs, Nordic gangs, Latin gangs and so on.
These are relatively large circles with certain energy. Under these big circles, there are many small circles where small characters gather together to keep warm, which can be said to be countless.
Among the many Hollywood gangs, there is a very special kind of gang.
That's the so-called "Smith Girls" gang.
Smith girls gang, they are not a group, they are very divided internally.
For example, the Charlize gang and the Anne & Jessica gang in front of them, or the Isa Angel & Liv gang... There is no obvious confrontation among them, but the fighting on various occasions has never stopped. Very confusing.
But no one dared to provoke them, even the Oilers Gang kept them at arm's length and respected them.
Of course Eva knew why.
She looked at Jessica's huge belly who was speaking after Annie finished speaking.
It must be his children, so they can be far and away in Hollywood.
"...In short, the situation is like this, and I don't need to say more. I think everyone is a smart person. During this time, everyone should live here. Minimize going out and minimizing trouble. I know you understand, because you all She's a smart girl, am I right?" After Jessica finished speaking, her beautiful eyes looked at everyone.
Someone responded immediately, and Eva Green quickly followed suit: "Yes, I understand. I will be obedient."
She saw Jessica nodded in satisfaction, and then Jessica looked at Anne again.
Anne Hathaway smiled. Her beautiful facial features made her mouth look a little big even if it was separated separately, but when she smiled like this, it looked very elegant as a whole.
"Okay. Don't be too nervous, it's already noon. Let's go eat something first."
She said this, and as soon as the words fell, everyone saw a tall and strong figure suddenly walked in from the door of the beautiful and huge living room. If it wasn't the "Lion" last night, who was it?
Seeing this man, Eva Green's first reaction was that her body hadn't recovered yet, and she felt a little weak again.
Among the five girls, some stood up, some looked very surprised with their eyes shining, and some directly smiled.
However, the other party ignored them, walked up to Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba who took the initiative to greet them with a chuckle, hugged them gently, and placed his broad palms on them from left to right He gently touched his swollen belly.
"Honey, why did you come back so early today?" Eva heard Annie say in surprise, "It's only noon, tsk tsk tsk... it can't be because of these little beauties? They can't escape, you can rest assured!"
Jessica was smiling beside her, but suddenly she groaned, and said, "Ah...don't touch it, the baby is reacting. The baby is moving so badly, the little villain is kicking my belly!"
Eva and the other girls immediately looked at her belly under the thin clothes, and they found that her belly was really moving, and the fetus inside was very happy.
This scene fell in the eyes of Eva Green, who was a little older than Jessica but had not yet given birth. There was a feeling that life was really wonderful.
Especially when the two very beautiful women in front of me, the father of the children in their womb is the same man, this feeling is even more amazing.
"Ha, it's nothing, it's really bad. When he or she comes out, I have to teach him a lesson!" The man smiled and flicked Jessica's belly lightly, and then explained to the two:
"There will be two old men coming to see me for dinner later. They also asked that they must be at home. After thinking about it, I will come here."
Eva heard him say this with a smile, and then noticed that his eyes were only now on them.
When his seemingly plain but majestic gaze was placed on her, Eva Green shrank slightly. She was a little afraid to look directly at him, but there was a flattering micro expression on her face.
At this moment, the literary and artistic French actress felt that she really looked like a lioness on the African savannah.
At this moment, the lioness is expressing her subjugation and submission to the male lion who has controlled her.
"Who is it?" Eva heard Anne Hathaway's curious inquiry again.
"John Chris Morgan, David Rockefeller, two old men. They come over here for the Fed meeting. It's in my building, so I'm sort of the host."
"The United States, the Federal Reserve? The Fed's meeting?!"
"Yes."
"Wow, that's really Morgan and Rockefeller?" Annie suddenly raised her voice, looking a little fussed.
But at this moment, Eva Green, who is already excellent in English, after hearing these names clearly, she didn't feel that Anne Hathaway was making a fuss at all.
Eva's head is also dizzy at the moment, it's the first time that she feels so close to the world-class big bosses!
That's the Federal Reserve, that's Morgan and Rockefeller! To her, or to most people, these people and names are legends.
Now, now she has the opportunity to be so close to these people!
This made Eva not surprised and shocked.
She also noticed that the performance of those American girls was even more unbearable and obviously more shocking.
This is understandable. After all, as Americans, especially those who have entered the entertainment industry, they know what these names mean better than ordinary people, and they know what these two names represent in this country.
It's... really incredible!
